Garmin eTrex Manuale Utente

14

This completes a basic explanation of the page 

features of the eTrex. Now let’s have some fun.

Discovering the fun of using your eTrex is as easy 

as taking a quick walk around an open outdoor area. In 
this brief exercise, you’ll mark your current location (your 
home for example), travel a short distance away, and then 
have the eTrex guide you back to where you started (to 
get the most out of this exercise, make sure to walk for at 
least the time noted for each step).

The fi rst step in the exercise is to mark your location 

as a waypoint so you can return to it later. 

1.   Press the PAGE Button and switch to the ‘MENU’ 

Page.

2.   Press the UP or DOWN Button and highlight the 

‘MARK’ fi eld.

3.   Press ENTER.  The ‘MARK WAYPOINT’ Page appears 

with ‘OK?’ highlighted.

Before we actually mark the waypoint, let’s change the 

symbol to a house and the name ‘001’ to something a little 
more meaningful such as HOME.

1.   On the ‘MARK WAYPOINT’ Page, press the UP or 

DOWN Button to highlight the small fl ag symbol 
and press ENTER.  Using the UP or DOWN Button, 
scroll through the symbols and highlight the house 
symbol.  Press ENTER.

NOTE: The eTrex must be “READY TO 
NAVIGATE” before you mark a waypoint.
